Under the guidance of Royal College of Art graduate Friedhard Kiekeben–international artist, Chicago professor, and new methods pioneer–participants will learn and practice art making across Printmaking, Painting and Hybrid Art within their own chosen projects and preferences. Topics related to art, ideas and techniques will be discussed. For those interested, final works can be submitted for inclusion in an online gallery on this site.
